Speaking of sports compact cars, then Honda Civic must be an option that cannot be bypassed, just his cousin just graduated from college this year, ready to buy a compact car with a sporty appearance and passion, which was also considered in the Honda Civic at the beginning, but the price of the lowest version of the Civic has reached 130,000 yuan, some over budget, and finally bought Buick's Veyron PRO, Veyron PRO and Civic two models positioning level is the same, but the Veyron PRO top version can only reach the lowest version of the Civic, and now the market Honda's premium capabilities are much stronger than Buick's.
2022 model of civic compared to the old model in the appearance of the big change, the appearance, the cancellation of the front of the chrome decoration, into the introverted convergence of the shape, the front face of the car is more concise, the lower sports grille with pure black treatment, the entire front of the car without too many elements of decoration, the car LED headlights into a polyline design, it looks more concise, in the past year, from Fit to Civic, Honda's products compared to the old models have fully turned to the home style, and then look at the Buick Veyron PRO, Instantly feel back to the youth era, the front face uses a very full design, sports kit blessing, the vehicle is very aggressive, blackened large size grille and exaggerated sports front shovel, coupled with the red embellishment of GS, more lively, and the sports side skirt and sports tail wing are all showing the youthful atmosphere without any reservations.
In the interior, the Civic has also undergone a new modification, and the steering wheel size after the replacement is thinner, but the overall grip is more comfortable. The internal configuration has been mini-processed, such as the buttons on the multi-function steering wheel and the air conditioning knob, the entire workmanship quality and button texture have been significantly improved, the horizontally stretched center console adopts the design of the bee net shape, the overall creation of a simple and not simple experience, if the Interior Design of the Civic reflects the concept of horizontal and vertical Japanese cars, come to the interior of Veyron PRO, you can immediately find the eclectic design ideas of american cars, and the veyron PRO vehicle interior adopts Dalian screen and irregular center console design , Civic is like using a knife to cut out the interior central control, and Veyron PRO uses a more flexible curve to create the layout of the vehicle, a silver and white decorative strip in the shift area, from the front storage board to the rear cup holder, forming an S-shaped shape, coupled with the mix and matching of fur and leather, the material veyron riding experience, rejuvenation is more active than the Civic.
Veyron PRO uses a 10.25-inch central control display, and supports car play function, while Honda Civic's central control screen is only 9 inches, and in the use of space, Honda, which has always been based on space, has actually cancelled the rear seat reclining function, and Veyron PRO not only supports 4:6 ratio reclining, rear cup holder, armrest and main driver electric seat adjustment function are all complete, so in the use of space, Civic's "self-deprecating martial arts" approach is very puzzling. Both models are commendable for their comfort in terms of sportiness, and the car is equipped with makeup mirrors that can take care of the non-driver's riding experience, but the Veyron PRO's makeup mirrors have lighting functions and are more user-friendly.
In terms of power, the Civic has two versions of high power and low power, we take the most sold 240turbo high power version as an example, the maximum horsepower of the 1.5T engine is 182 horses, matching the CVT gearbox, And Veyron PRO is also a 1.5T engine, the maximum 184 horsepower, measured, both of the acceleration results are in the early 8 seconds, the two almost maintain the same acceleration body feeling, and we know that Buick before the use of its own general 6AT gearbox in compact cars, after changing to the Veyron PRO model, the first use of CVT, but also the vehicle fuel consumption to about 7 liters, which is almost comparable to civic.
Civic today's driving body feel obviously comfortable a lot, no longer as the old model chassis so tough, but fortunately in the Civic equipped with L2 level of driving assistance and the choice of sport mode, can adapt to the owner of more driving situations, Veyron PRO in the driving configuration is indeed some lack of, after all, the top model does not even have the function of automatic parking, automatic driving level models but not even L1, very confusing, both have common disadvantages is that sound insulation and noise reduction need to be improved, the noise of the engine is very obvious.
Conclusion: The budget of 130,000 did not buy the Civic, bought the Veyron PRO, after 3000 kilometers, the owner said the real feeling: "Purely in terms of vehicle configuration, Veyron PRO has a very obvious advantage, more configuration and lower price, is the magic weapon of GM Buick to ensure sales, and civic after the revamp, obviously from the sport to the family wind, for this change The market feedback is mixed, as for how to choose between these two models, the most important thing is to see if the budget in the hand is enough."
